- 0:32Speaker 3: A man prays every single day, God, please help me
- 0:37Speaker 3: win the lottery just once. I'll be generous, I'll be grateful.
- 0:42Speaker 3: I just need one win. He prays for months and months,
- 0:48Speaker 3: still nothing. One day, frustrated, he shouts, Hey, God, why
- 0:55Speaker 3: haven't you answered my prayer? Suddenly the clouds part and
- 1:01Speaker 3: a voice booms from above. Meet me halfway. Buy a ticket.
- 1:14Speaker 3: Welcome to this week's episode of Positively three sixty five. Today,
- 1:20Speaker 3: we're talking about something we all struggle with at some point, patience.
- 1:26Speaker 3: We live in a world of fast food, instant downloads,
- 1:31Speaker 3: and same day delivery, so when things take time, real time,
- 1:36Speaker 3: it's easy to get frustrated. But patience isn't just about waiting.
- 1:41Speaker 3: It's about how you wait with peace or with pressure,
- 1:48Speaker 3: with trust, or with tension. So let's talk about why
- 1:52Speaker 3: patience matters and how cultivating it can make your life calmer, healthier,
- 1:58Speaker 3: and even more success. But first it's time for our
- 2:03Speaker 3: trivia question of the day. Are you ready for it?
- 2:06Speaker 3: Here it is what fruit takes the longest time to
- 2:11Speaker 3: grow from seed to harvest? Sometimes up to seven years.
- 2:16Speaker 3: We'll have the answer when we come back. Hey, they're
- 2:25Speaker 3: amazing listeners. Are you looking for your next great read?

- 3:53Speaker 3: for listening and happy reading. Welcome back. Do you know
- 4:05Speaker 3: the answer to this week's trivia question? The question was
- 4:10Speaker 3: what fruit takes the longest time to grow from seed
- 4:14Speaker 3: to harvest, sometimes up to seven years. The answer mangoes.
- 4:21Speaker 3: That's right. Mango trees can take anywhere from five to
- 4:25Speaker 3: eight years to produce their first harvest, depending on the
- 4:29Speaker 3: variety and the climate. But once they start producing, they
- 4:34Speaker 3: can yield fruit for decades. It's a perfect example of
- 4:39Speaker 3: nature's lesson in patients. Long investment, slow growth, sweet rewards.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Now you know, patience is often underestimated because it simply
- 4:56Speaker 3: doesn't look traumatic. It doesn't make headlines or grab attention.
- 5:01Speaker 3: But patience is powerful. It keeps you grounded when things
- 5:05Speaker 3: don't go your way. It helps you make better decisions
- 5:08Speaker 3: instead of reacting impulsively. It allows relationships to grow, ideas
- 5:14Speaker 3: to mature, and healing to happen. And most importantly, patience
- 5:19Speaker 3: teaches you to trust the process even when the results
- 5:23Speaker 3: aren't immediate. Think about the best things in life, meaningful relationships,
- 5:29Speaker 3: personal growth, health, mastery. None of them happen overnight. They
- 5:35Speaker 3: require steady effort, small steps, and yes time. When you
- 5:41Speaker 3: embrace patients, you stop constantly measuring how far you have
- 5:45Speaker 3: to go and start appreciating where you are. You give
- 5:50Speaker 3: yourself permission to be a work in process, and that's
- 5:54Speaker 3: where real peace lives. So let's wrap up things this
- 6:11Speaker 3: week with this thought from Joyce Meyer. She says, patience
- 6:17Speaker 3: is not the ability to wait, but the ability to
- 6:20Speaker 3: keep a good attitude while waiting. You're not behind, you're
- 6:26Speaker 3: not late, You're right where you need to be. Stay steady,
- 6:31Speaker 3: stay kind, stay open, and trust that what's meant for
- 6:37Speaker 3: you is on its way in its own time. Patience.
